Free Heritage History eBook – Stories from Roman History

Each story is simply told and can be easily read by a novice reader. Subjects include Horatius and Coriolanus, romantic heroes of the early Republic; Hannibal and Scipio Africanus, military leaders during the Punic Wars; and Pompey and Julius Caesar, protagonists of the Caesarean Civil War, which brought the Roman republic to an end.
